What I found noteworthy was the following
The penultimate warning recorded related to the battery discharging, which occurs
when there is insufficient engine-driven generator power. The last warning related to an
autopilot system failure.


Not knowing the EC135 A/P system some questions do come to mind:

Would this warning also be submitted if the A/P was deactivated?
Or would the A/P still have to be engaged to receive this warning?
If the latter:
What are the conditions for the A/P to completely disengage?
Would the A/P completely diengage in case of any significant Control input or could there be situations where it would only be temporarily overridden?
